Anarchists heading to Toronto’s G20 summit to “cause shit,” “party”

Anarchists are coming to Toronto during the G20. The Southern Ontario Anarchist Resistance (SOAR) sent out its rallying call last week. The document is a tour de force of non-specific threats, crying out to anarchist protestors to “cause some shit,” “humiliate the security apparatus,” “disrupt business-as-usual” and, of course, “party!” The group is promoting a diverse array of actions that are “militant and confrontational,” with the ultimate goal of making Toronto regret “letting the dang G20 in here.” The anarchists also propose some things to think about when gearing up for the event, including proper supplies (“Don’t forget water!”) and legal preparations (“How will you deal with arrests?”).

We just learned three things about anarchists: 1) they are sometimes fans of euphemisms; 2) they don’t mind publishing their specific meeting place where the police can easily read it (“Meet by 1 pm at the Northeast [sic] corner of College and university [sic]”); 3) they clearly don’t like Molotov cocktails as much as we thought they did. It’s good to know, though, that there’s still room for anarchy at the G20, when, Lord knows, there’s not room for much else.

The police protecting the participants of this G 20 in Toronto or anywhere else are in fact complicit to the crimes they perpetrates against humanity and should themselves be arrested by the protesters!!Certainly not the other way around!!!!

Please be advised that we at Southern Ontario Animal Rescue (S.O.A.R.) request that you immediately cease and desist using the acronym S.O.A.R. This acronym is copyrighted by us and has been in use since February 2005.

Southern Ontario Animal Rescue (SOAR) is a very dedicated group of volunteers in Southern Ontario, Canada, committed to rescuing all breeds of dogs in need.

As a Non-Profit, Registered Charitable Organization with extremely limited resources, SOAR rescues every single dog that it is able to, including animals that have been abandoned or rejected due to ill health, abnormalities or old age; something most rescue groups are unable or unwilling to do.

We are able to do this only with the public’s generosity. We receive no funds from any agency, corporation or government. All monies are raised through the time and efforts of our volunteers at events through out the year, such as dog shows, pet shows like Woofstock and SOAR-run events like our annual Christmas Party, Summer Dog Days, etc.

We have built our reputation using the name S.O.A.R. and, while you have the right to protest your causes (preferably in a peaceul manner) during the G20 Summit, we do not wish to have our good name linked with or sullied by any actions your group may take.

Should you continue to use the acronym of S.O.A.R., we will pass the cease and desist order to our legal team.

Alright, so you like being a puppet? You like renting your body to rich bastards you only make richer. Buying your lifes needs, killing our only home, exploiting the less fortunate. Go right a head. But I won’t stand for it. Food and water should be a right not a luxury. I won’t have my life planed out in some suits strategic plan to make profits. I want peace and balance, justice for EVERYONE and EVERYTHING. Our planet deserves a rest of this 30 year rape. CAPITALISM is harming us as a species (we are animal). They have us competing with one another. That doesn’t get us anywhere!!!

MELES ZENAWI of Ethiopia: Worse than the former Marxist dictator he ousted nearly two decades ago, Zenawi has clamped down on the opposition, stifled all dissent, and rigged elections. Like a true Marxist revolutionary, Zenawi has stashed BILLions in foreign banks and acquired mansions in Maryland and London in his wife’s name, according to close associates — even as his barbaric regime collects a whopping $1 billion in foreign aid each year. 19 Years in power: 19 YEARS

If you feel so strongly about it, why don’t you go and feed and volunteer to help people, instead of spending your time destroying stuff. Your message is being lost in your actions.
You are accomplishing nothing by your actions. You are no different then a terrorist. You can’t use fear, to get people to agree with your point of view.

I can really see you want peace and harmony. Interesting way of getting it.
